The purpose of this study is to determine whether repeated courses of
sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) in combination with azithromycin given at Antenatal Clinic,
leads to lower rates of low birth weight deliveries (<2. 5 kg) among Papua New Guinean women,
than the current standard treatment of SP and chloroquine.
